It’s called X-Wedge and it’s a new Chinese brand entering the market. One of the many brands we’ve never heard of, but which represent solid realities, at least in Asia.
Established companies are always being added to, and this X-Wedge represents something different. Let’s start by saying that it is part of the Huansong industrial group, based in Chongqing, and that instead of attacking the market for medium and low displacement motorcycles, it intends to enter the market for large displacement cruisers.
The range will consist of five new models, obviously inspired by American V-Twins.
The engine is said to be derived from the famous S&S, curiously also called the X-Wedge, which has similar characteristics to the engines that equip the Chinese manufacturer’s new models.
The entry-level model is called the Ranger RX2000 and is inspired by the more classic H-Ds. Equipped with a fairing and a set of rear bags, it is called the RL200.
Of the five new entries, three are three-wheeled, the Voyager VS2000 is essentially a Ranger RX2000 with sidecar (with both rear wheels driven), while the Vanguard VT2000 is a real tricycle.
Also with three wheels, but with an inverted layout, two at the front and one at the back, the Walker WR1000 is the only model that doesn’t have the S&S twin-cylinder engine. In fact, its engine is a 975 cc twin-cylinder with 81 hp of power and 80 Nm of torque, with a CVT transmission.
We don’t know if these models will be launched in other markets outside China, but we doubt that they will reach Europe.
